How to Make Soap from Ashes - Modern Homesteading If it hadn't been for the help we got from the native old-timers . . . my friend, Dennis, and I would have starved or just plain quit the winter we settled into that abandoned miner's cabin in Alaska. The sourdoughs came to our rescue, though, and soon taught us how to survive on less than $10 a month cash money by trapping, tanning, foraging food and dipping candles from our own tallow and lard. With their generous assistance, we also quickly mastered the fine and easy art of recycling hardwood ashes and left-over kitchen fats into clean, all purpose soap. Soap Making Is Almost Automatic Now, soap making in the woods can be an almost automatic thing. All you really need to turn out the same sort of non-polluting cleanser that our pioneer foremothers scrubbed with, you know, is lye and animal fat. To make lye in the kitchen, boil the ashes from a hardwood fire (soft woods are too resinous to mix with fat) in a little soft water, rain water is best, for about half an hour.
DIY Aloe Vera Gel This Instructable will show you how I (and I emphasize I) make homemade Aloe Vera Gel. I personally use it as a moisturizer on my aging sun-kissed, exposed chest skin and neck, hoping that it will rejuvenate it over the long run and keep that part of my skin looking young. One of the reasons I am posting this tutorial is because I know this mixture helps heal sunburns. My husband burns easily and in a pinch, I have rubbed straight aloe vera goo from the plant on his bright red extremities. It just works. I grow my own aloe vera plants. The original source I used for this recipe is here: Cheryl's Delights Blog. The recipe is spot on, I have personally used it, and I am going to share the process of making it with you. Please remember that this post is for information only, and it is not intended to recommend treatment. ~ Thanks!

DIY all-natural eye-emphasizing mascara Mascara is the one cosmetic I wear on a daily basis, and the one item in my regular beauty routine that, up until now, I have still been purchasing ready-made (as opposed to making it in my kitchen). You see, I’ve tried to make my own mascara in the past (oh, have I tried), but all of the recipes called for coconut oil. While this may work outdoors in the wintertime (burr), since coconut oil has a melting point of 76°F, it was constantly smudging all over my face! I love the ingenuity of these DIYs but they were just not working out for me. So I gave up. So I did. Ingredients*: 2 teaspoons of pure aloe vera gel. *Makes 1 tube of mascara Directions: Mix all of the ingredients together until smooth and consistent. To fill the tube, use an oral syringe (these can be purchased at the drugstore for a few dollars and will make the process significantly more simple). That’s it! Unlike the coconut oil DIY mascaras, this mascara dries on the lashes and so does not smudge.
How to Naturally Clean Indoor Air Turns out that indoor air can often contain more toxins and chemicals than outdoor air. Everything from mattresses to pots/pans to kids PJs can contain harmful chemicals in indoor air. It’s best to reduce chemical exposure in any way possible, but in today’s chemical laden world, it is practically impossible to completely avoid harmful toxins. I’ve mentioned houseplants before and they are a great option for improving indoor air (read my full list of recommended plants here). Besides indoor plants, these are my top three natural air cleaners (and I use all three): Beeswax Candles Regular paraffin candles are petroleum derived and can release chemicals like benzene, toluene, soot and other chemicals into the air. Pure Beeswax Candles on the other hand burn with almost no smoke or scent and clean the air by releasing negative ions into the air. I personally only use beeswax candles in our house. Salt Lamps Salt lamps are another natural way to clean indoor air. Bamboo Charcoal Beeswax Candles
Homemade Body Butter » The Merrythought During the winter months my skin can use all the moisturizing it can get! I’ve been wanting to try making my own lotion, or body butter, for a while now and since I’ve been on a homemade beauty product kick lately, now is the time! I thought I’d start really simple and easy, using only whipped coconut oil and essential oils. I’ve been using coconut oil as a makeup remover and occasionally as a moisturizer, but I hate trying to scrape the coconut oil out of the jar; so I thought I’d see if whipping it would change the texture enough to be more like a creamy lotion. Turns out, works great – I’ve got an easy to use, creamy body butter that smells amazing! You can use whatever essential oils you’d like – I chose ones that were good for my skin and that I enjoy the smell. Homemade Body Butter ; it’s quite large, but I like the wide mouth for being able to reach in easily) If you’re curious about essentials oils, you can learn more here. -Manda
